High temperature was only a cool 79 degrees today. Winds were 6-7 mph. The thunderstorm at 5:00 pm brought winds of 42 mph to Cherry Creek Reservoir.
Early in the morning, Terry Michaels and I explored a Varied Thrush report at Jackson Reservoir (Morgan). It was reported near Pelican Campgrounds. We did not find it.
We did count a Townsend's Warbler, two Spotted Towhees, one Long-eared Owl and a Cassin's Vireo all from the Campgrounds.
Our plans were to continue to Prewitt Reservoir (Logan/Washington) and look for the Buff-breasted Sandpiper. A text message altered those plans.

Our next stop, Sand Creek (Denver) where many birders got descent looks at the Groove-billed Ani. When accepted it will be the fourth Colorado State Record.

Late in the afternoon, Rebecca Kosten and I went to check on a Common Tern report at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe). It was raining quite heavily by the time we arrived. Winds were 42 mph, visibility possibly 10 yards.
